Gender Gap, how far still
Enhancing female entrepreneurship is a priority, given that in Global Gender Gap report 2023Italy slips 13 positions al 79th place out of 146 countries. And the data is inexorable: participation and the representation of women in politics has drastically deteriorated. And so from 40th place in the general classification for this split we ended up in 64th place.
A little better cross-section of participation and economic opportunities that women have in our country. Here you have a slight improvement from 110th place to 104th, in any case a disheartening figure because we remain in the lower part of the ranking.
GammaDonna, the enhancement of female entrepreneurship
Gamma Donna has the goal of continuing to promote the entrepreneurial spirit, leadership and innovation throughout the country: this year too it has collected fifty stories of businesses led by women who belong to different sectors, but share the same goal: to make the economy and society more sustainable, fair and inclusive through innovation applied to business, and generate a positive impact.
«Through the path of empowerment and enhancement of female entrepreneurship, GammaDonna aims to make gender differences less and less relevant in Italy and abroad. – explains the President Valentina Parenti – A challenge that we pursue with passion and enthusiasm. This year’s FAB50s tell us how change is becoming real».
